You may want to do a bit of reading on how some of this stuff works before you get hip-deep in a project that ends up costing triple what you had budgeted.....
But without getting to deep into it, turbo manifolds (or headers) are quite a bit different than other headers. This is because the turbo is driven off the exhaust gasses, so the turbo needs to bolt directly to the manifold.
There are other supporting mods you can do for a turbo......better flowing heads and intake manifolds, etc. But what's good for a turbocharged engine is not necessarily optimal for an engine without a turbo, so you may want to wait until you have some idea of what exactly you want before you start buying parts.
